Just found a token named OMDB

Now with the private key, can't they just hack our ethereum wallet ? i mean is there any protection left with us to stop them from taking our money ?

not at all there is no chance that you can still protect your wallet if you have given someone your privte key.

I have not seen any airdrop or bounty campaign that will ask for your ether private key rather the right thing to ask for is your ether public key. It’s like asking for your bank account details and then asks that you give them your pin or password along with it. Looks like a scam. One just needs to be a little careful. The good thing is that the forum is available to ask question for clarification so one doesn’t become victim of such situations. People are busy working to make something meaning and other set of people are busy scamming

Yes, it's totally scam project. Never ever give your private key to anyone or any project. Because only you belong it.
So, avoid that shitty scam project mate. And you may not save your private key on any online wallet
Good luck.

Yes, it is definitely a scam. Never ever give away your private key. If they have this, they can empty your wallet.

Like many suggested above, with private key of your ETH address they can move anything you will have on that address in later on or you have right now.

To send any airdrop token your ETH address will be enough so any other project will also ask for your private key in future than you can say they are only there to steal your ETH and tokens.

Never give your private key to anyone.
This is your personal information.
You do not leave your wallet at the bus stop or on the bench in the subway just because you are asked to do it? Here is the same.
Moreover, I recommend that you store your tokens on the hardware wallet.

Your private key will give them an access to your wallet and ability to get money out. Never give anybody your private key!

It's too bad, having your private key they will quietly steal your money. You have become a victim of deception. Never give your private keys to anyone.

It is obviously a scam, your private key is important because if anyone gets it they can access everything inside your wallet (tokens and Ethereum) and take it all from you. Think of this, why do people need to provide their private key if the developers of this project only need your Ethereum address to be able to send airdrop tokens to you? that is stupid and definitely a fraud. People that fall in this kind of scam don't know the importance of private key and you as a noob in this field you should never join those kind of airdrops at any time. Yes it is a free but why would you sacrifice all tokens that is stored in your wallet for just a worthless one.

Once you see an obvious shit then it's an automatic scam.

Asking private key is a shit thing to asked in airdrop forms so good thing you have common sense.

So far so good

You need to understand that for an airdrop or a bounty campaign or whatever reason, they do not need your private key, only your ETH address if it is an ERC20 token.
So in this case, you can be sure it is a scam.
As everyone said, never give your private key.

They asked for your "ethereum private key", they want to access your wallet address never give it to them, if they got your private key they have the full control to your wallet and possibly you will lose everything in your wallet, just don't give it to them it is a fraud.
